R Franco Digital launches Spain’s most advanced native betting platform

IRIS 4.0 to revolutionise market with next-generation delivery
Leading Spanish betting and gaming technology supplier R. Franco Digital has launched the country’s most advanced native betting platform, IRIS 4.0.
The result of more than two years of R&D, IRIS 4.0 has been designed to provide its Spanish partners with a solution that can deliver a true competitive advantage across the Spanish and LatAm markets when deployed.
Whether for online or in the retail space via gaming or sports betting terminals, IRIS 4.0 offers a powerful armoury of engagement-boosting bonusing, campaign and promotional tools, as well as newly built event-driven architecture to offer an extensive range of scalability.
The supplier of choice for Spain’s leading operator brands, including 1XBet, DafaBet, Suertia and Degestec, IRIS 4.0 will be initially going live with Wanabet and Genesis Group, with full migration of R Franco’s partner network by the end of the year.
Commenting on the launch of the platform, Javier Sacristan, Director at R Franco Digital said: “The wait is finally over! Our development teams have been working overdrive on getting this ready for our operator partners to take full advantage of the return of the sporting calendar.
“IRIS 4.0 is by far the most advanced solution we have built, and we’ve designed it to truly push the boundaries of native platform technology for the Spanish and LatAm regions. With plans to scale globally in the coming months – we look forward to delivering a true competitive advantage to our partners.”
As the first provider to debut on the Colombia market on behalf of BetPlay, as well as pioneering the use of regulatory and compliance tools with Spain’s DGOJ and Colombia’s ColJuegos, R Franco Digital has a well-earned reputation for regional leadership.
The company has signed a host of partnerships in recent months with global heavyweights including GAMING1, SBTech and BetConstruct.

BETBY ACHIEVES GLI CERTIFICATION FOR PERU, EXPANDING ITS FOOTPRINT IN LATIN AMERICA’S REGULATED MARKETS

BETBY, a top-tier sports betting supplier, has received certification from Gaming Laboratories International (GLI) to provide its sportsbook solution in Peru’s regulated market. This certification marks another significant milestone in BETBY’s continued expansion across Latin America.
With the Peruvian government formalizing its regulated sports betting framework, GLI certification has emerged as a crucial requirement for providers aiming to serve licensed operators in the country. BETBY is now authorized to deliver its innovative and tailored sportsbook solutions in Peru’s rapidly expanding regulated betting market.
GLI’s certification, recognized as a benchmark for excellence, validates BETBY’s ability to meet Peru’s strict technical requirements, including those related to sportsbook functionality, information security management systems, and information security standards. Peru’s regulatory framework is primarily based on GLI-33 certification, which BETBY successfully achieved in early 2025. As a result, the company was well-positioned to swiftly meet the country’s compliance standards.
“Peru represents a key step in our broader Latin American growth strategy, as the region continues to adopt clearer regulatory frameworks for online sports betting,” said Ilze Ramolina, Head of Legal & Compliance at BETBY. “Securing GLI certification for this market, which has a growing digital infrastructure and tech-savvy audience, allows us to support licensed operators in launching compliant and competitive offerings from day one. This is yet another step forward in our mission to deliver tailored, localized solutions that meet both local requirements and regional expectations across the region.”
This achievement follows BETBY’s previous certification for the Brazilian market, solidifying its presence in two of Latin America’s most promising jurisdictions. The supplier’s flexible and highly localised sportsbook platform, combined with its commitment to compliance, positions it as a trusted partner for operators looking to thrive in newly regulated environments.
By entering the Peruvian market, BETBY continues to demonstrate its strategic focus on Latin America, providing hyper-localized, engaging, and secure sports betting experiences for both operators and players.

DraftKings to Introduce Transaction Fee in Illinois

In response to the recent and prior sports wagering tax increases passed by the Illinois state legislature on all mobile and online sports wagers placed with licensed operators, DraftKings Inc. announced that it will implement a 50-cent transaction fee on all mobile and online bets placed in Illinois through DraftKings Sportsbook, effective September 1, 2025.
“Illinois has been an important part of our growth, and we’re proud to have contributed meaningfully to the state through tax revenue, job creation, and a sustained investment in responsible gaming tools and resources. We are disappointed that Illinois policymakers have chosen to more than triple our tax rate over the past two years, and we are very concerned about what this will do to the legal, regulated industry. Meanwhile, Illinois continues to fuel the rapidly growing illegal industry, which pays no taxes or fees and provides none of the consumer protections that regulated operators offer,” said Jason Robins, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of DraftKings.
